Heya, your friendly neighborhood list op here.

So bad news, good news, good news, bad news, bright side is the short
version.

tl;dr version: primary disk died, warranty replacement, bigger disk
accordingly, but I gotta reinstall and re-burn-in everything.

Bad news: the new server's primary disk borked.  I could recover nothing
from that volume.

Good news: nothing critical beyond an installed applications list and
configurations for the various services I run.

Good news: replacenet disk received yesterday, four times the size of the
original primary volume.

Bad news: because I could recover nothing, this means that the only thing I
do not have to do is restore the /home volume (where my users' data lives).
 I will have to burn the server in again to make sure it's not going to do
this again, reinstall all the necessary stuff again, reconfigure everything
again, and somewhere in all of this, ship the unit out again.

Bright side: it has a bigger disk. =)

Somewhere in all of this, the seeds of an Aa! Megamisama fic are brewing.
Now, if I have the time to do this between classes....
